At least 34 bodies were found in the Resort World Manila leisure complex after a gunman attack, the Philippines capital’s fire officials told local TV. Police suspect the attacker was a thief, not a terrorist, but he started a fire that caused mass suffocation.
Most of the victims are believed to have suffocated in the smoke, which filled the building after the unidentified gunman used a canister of gasoline to start fire at the casino earlier on Thursday night. The gunman, armed with an assault rifle, was probably trying to steal casino chips, Philippines police chief Ronald dela Rosa told media.
The attacker has reportedly been described as a tall, English-speaking man with a pale complexion.
The death toll was reported by Manila TV ANC News channel, quoting Bureau of Fire Protection sources......https://on.rt.com/8dce
